A system and method for increasing transmission distance and/or transmission data rates using tedons and an encoding scheme to reduce the number of ones in a data signal is described. For example, the method for increasing transmission distance and transmission data rate of a fiber optical communications link using tedons includes the steps of encoding a data signal to be transmitted using an encoding scheme that reduces a number of ones in the data signal, transmitting the encoded data signal over the fiber optical communications link, receiving the encoded data signal and decoding the encoded data signal.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of instructions, the plurality of instructions including instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the steps of a method for increasing transmission distance of a fiber optical communications link using tedons, comprising the steps of: encoding a data signal to be transmitted using an encoding scheme that reduces a number of ones disproportionally relative to a number of zeros in said data signal; and transmitting said encoded data signal over said fiber optical communications link using said tedons.
2. The computer-readable medium according to claim 1 , further comprising: receiving said encoded data signal; and decoding said encoded data signal.
3. The computer-readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein said encoding scheme is pulse position modulation.
4. A computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of instructions, the plurality of instructions including instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the steps of a method for increasing transmission data rate of a fiber optical communications link using tedons, comprising the steps of: encoding a data signal to be transmitted using an encoding scheme that reduces a number of ones disproportionally relative to a number of zeros in said data signal; and transmitting said encoded data signal over said fiber optical communications link using said tedons.
5. The computer-readable medium according to claim 4 , further comprising: receiving said encoded data signal; and decoding said encoded data signal.
6. The computer-readable medium according to claim 4 , wherein said encoding scheme is pulse position modulation.
7. A computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of instructions, the plurality of instructions including instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the steps of a method for increasing transmission distance of a fiber optical communications link using tedons, comprising the steps of: receiving an encoded data signal from said fiber optical communications link using said tedons, wherein said encoded data signal was encoded by a transmitter using an encoding scheme that reduced a number of ones disproportionally relative to a number of zeros in a data signal; and decoding said encoded data signal.
8. The computer-readable medium according to claim 7 , wherein said encoding scheme is pulse position modulation.
